Books I Recommend

First of all, I should be tarred and feathered. I said I’ve had a new post up for you yesterday, and I didn’t. I had to go on a day trip somewhere, that brought me home around 12:30 a.m. So that is my excuse. I will try to be a better blogger in the future….once I am able to attend some seminar that tells me how this is possible. Ha.

So….anyway, most of you know that I’m making it a lifestyle change to include protein in all of my meals. I am the the carb-o-holic and yet, miracles of miracles, I’ve switched over to becoming fond of protein.

Now, this is when I really make an effort to have more protein in my diet. It’s still a struggle…but I’m getting better at it.

One of the ways that really helps me get that protein in is smoothies. It’s fast, easy, and after a good morning workout, my body really craves something cold and refreshing.

So today, I thought I’d share 5 of my favourite, healthy protein shakes with you. Just in case you need to shake things up a bit! Keep in mind that you can use whatever protein powder you want. I use all sorts of kinds…hemp protein, vegan protein powder, and whey protein. I do stay away from any powder than includes soy, because I think soy is bad, bad.

I find that I benefit from adding protein to my diet, too. I do okay with just fruits and greens in the morning (greens have protein anyway), but later, I’m more satisfied with an extra protein boost. Love protein-packed smoothies!

These look fabulous!! Who wouldn’t love a smoothie AND these are good for you! Just out of curiosity… why is soy bad? For so many years we’ve heard it is so good for you and now we are hearing negative things and I never heard why? Great post!!
